bash: lspci: command not found

Best Answer

"Command not found" is quite something different than "it doesn't seem to be working".

Either lspci got installed to a place which is not in your path, or you use a shell which needs rehash to update its directory cache.

Note that you did try to run it normal user. Thus /sbin, /usr/sbin and /usr/local/sbin probably are not in your path.
